In a discussion about the late (great) John Updike, Ben told me that the author was a firm believer in writing "three pages a day"– of anything. This is perfectly sensible, and sounds so simple. It speaks to the notion of keeping one's instrument in fine-tune; in a word: chops. What I've been missing from… Continue reading the nummulite
Floodwaters rising. I was among others, and I was on some sort of mission; I was preparing for something, and trying to locate what I'd lost among the water pooling around our feet. I didn't set out to write it down immediately, though, so the rest of the dream has been lost. Sunday Ben and… Continue reading water soluble
Here is my big secret: I haven't done drawings on a regular basis for many years, aside from fits and starts. False starts-- or re-visitations. As a result, I can no longer draw anything unless I've seen it, or worse: unless I can see it-- in reality, or in a photograph. I've lost my ability… Continue reading relearning drawing

Luckily for me, I was kidnapped in the late afternoon by friends, and whisked off to Jacob Riis park, where there is a lovely beach. Upon returning home, my… Continue reading heat
Overpass in rain Catharsis. A charcoal drawing, 18"x24". Haven't used the medium in over a decade; forgotten how blackened the hands get. My eraser is indistinguishable from the bits of charcoal now as well, save by its shape.
the air has done its subliminal shift and now summer is gone. it's not just about temperature; it's something to do with the texture. probably relates to hurricane season, the great sweeping northward. my brother has been in town this weekend, and it was his birthday yesterday. Here is a sneak peak at the beginnings… Continue reading autumn is here.
freckled, androgynous Some more drawings. Been doing more drawing than thinking lately, so not much to say (write). What can I scare up on short notice...? Well, the weather has been agreeable- (weather; always a brilliant topic. ::shakes head::) August itself is in its late days which is sad, especially as that brief trip to… Continue reading bang!
Here are some new drawings; have been working with grey markers. The paper is thin and sometimes the markers go through, thus starting the next drawing without your consent.
